Welcome!

Welcome to the FAIRstart training program for foster families and staff working with children placed in public care. The program gives you research-based, professional training in working with children and teenagers. It has been tested in practice by your colleagues and foster families all over the world.


The material is free of charge and accessible if you have an internet connection. We have endeavoured to design the program so it does not increase your budget. It is all about quality care improvement.


The only cost is the working hours you – as a person, organization or family – decide to spend on learning the principles of the program and to develop your own practices.


The FAIRstart program is divided into two parts. One part is designed for foster parents and the other part is designed for staff in institutions.
